IB Application --> S&T Interview Offer. What happened? Should I go for it knowing nothing at all about S&T?

I am a Junior at a non-target. I recently sent in an IBSA app and got a interview offer for S&T instead. Anyone know what the reason behind this might be?

For instance, did my app get passed off to the S&T team? Should I ask the recruiter or is this a pretty standard practice that doesn't merit an email? It's never happened to me before - either interview or no response.

In any case, I had never considered S&T before. What's the lateral transition prospect?

Thanks for the insight. I am open to S&T, but obviously IB is the goal. My only concern would be that clarification email may screw my chance at both by coming off as "picky" or non-committal to S&T (which I interview for today), or do you think it's not a big deal?

All my preparation was IB based, so instead of waisting the interviewer's time, I informed HR of the mixup and they told me they would get back to me. Never did. If you have any interest in S&T, go for it. It's still a a great opportunity
